RE: Join Me In Discussion To Build a Better Platform. @pawsdog
All good and positive suggestions marking a starting point in the search for essential changes needed to make Steemit even better than it is now.
A widely distributed, decentralized community needs some sort of logarithmic/multiplier capping of both upvotes and downvotes, as well as some sort of internal arbitration for extreme cases that require real human interaction.
And the best part of these proposed reforms would be the obvious increase in the rest of rewards received by lesser well known contributors getting fewer upvotes since the percentage lowered on the bigger rewards would automatically be distributed equally to the rest of upvotes not having reached capping thresholds (or proportionately up to said thresholds, etc.).
Good job. I'm a big believer in moving forward in the positive, and this certainly looks to be exactly that. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's opinions and suggestions!
I figured these points would mark a good place to start a conversation into needed reform as I see multiple areas in need of improvement and have noted abuse from the rich and poor alike. I think that in order for this platform to make it the next level each and ever member should fee as though they are valuable, a part of the community and if they matter. At current I see much disparity and feel as though those in the lower echelon feel a bit left out and or abused.
I am highly in favor of a capping system of some sorts as like you said it would leave more available to spread around to other users and improve the platform
